Join us to celebrate the publication of CRMEP Books Volume 8: Peter Osborne and Howard Caygill, eds, Promise & Perdition in the Thought of Gillian Rose. Also launching two books on Robert Walser: Simon Wortham, Robert Walser and the Politics of Neglect – with an Introduction by CRMEP's Howard Caygill (Palgrave Macmillan) and Simon Wortham, Robert Walser: Criticism, Creativity, Correspondence (UCL Press).
The essays collected in this eighth volume from CRMEP Books derive from a conference on the thought of the British sociologist and philosopher Gillian Rose, held at Swedenborg Hall in Bloomsbury, London, 18–19 June 2025. Interest in Rose’s wide-ranging body of critical work in the sociology and philosophy of modernity has grown significantly since her early death in 1995. In the wake of the publication of a Penguin Modern Classics edition of Rose’s Love’s Work (2024), along with some of her undergraduate lectures on critical theory from the University of Sussex at the end of the 1970s (Marxist Modernism, Verso, 2024), this thirty-year anniversary event set out to explore the play of promise and perdition – from which Love’s Work itself departed – across the full span of her writings.
